"A Senseless Act"
One never knows, and perhaps it is just as well that we cannot foresee the future. We would never appreciate nor enjoy the present.
For a 42-year-old father of two girls, out for a day of fun, visiting a mini-putt course known as a centre for family fun, the day did not conclude as it was meant to do. Together with his girlfriend, Bradley Hubbard thought that it would be a fine idea to take his daughters out to Putting Edge, a glow-in-the-dark mini-putt located in Barrie, Ontario.
Three young teens were there too, among the many people who chose that venue for an afternoon of fun and games. The three teens, from Innisfil, Ontario, between the ages of 18 and 19 were arrested, when all was done and over with, charged with second-degree murder. Two are brothers, Justin and Matthew Spring, and with their friend Jake Workman, were scheduled for a later court appearance.
The three teens were "smashing things" inside the golf course, and generally, it would seem, making a nuisance of themselves by acting out as obvious juvenile delinquents intent on spoiling a day of fun for all the others who had gone to the mini-golf course. Bradley Hubbard was a construction worker with a passion for motorcycles. Obviously no pale shrinking violet of a man.
He confronted the three teens to impress upon them that their oafishly destructive behaviour did not reflect well on the manner in which they were presumably raised, as members of civil society. Little might it have occurred to Mr. Hubbard that the behaviour of the three boys did indeed reflect the manner in which they had been raised.
Mr. Hubbard's interference with the violently perverse enjoyment of the three boys caused them to react in a manner he might hardly have anticipated in that place of family fun, surrounded by other people. He was stabbed in the neck with a putter which likely pierced his aorta since, according to a witness the mortally injured man "gushed blood".
These are three young boys heading into adulthood who were not satisfied with public and very obviously-shared acts of vandalism. The three cronies shared an urge to destroy a life, the life of someone who had presumed to chastise them for their anti-social, destructive and offensive behaviour in a very public venue.
And two girls have been left fatherless.
